Make Your Own: Candy There’s a reason why they put all that deliciously sweet candy up by the cash registers in nearly every store: if you had to find it at the back of the place, you’d likely decide against it before you got up front to pay.

feasting at home: Lessons from an Artichoke What is so vulnerable, I wonder, that must need such safeguarding, such armor? When you hold the artichoke in your hand, the first thing you notice are the waxy prickly leaves, brilliantly designed to keep predators out. They can be sharp, injurious even, if not handled with care. Are we not so different from the artichoke? As I try to describe the taste of fresh artichoke, truthfully, I find it difficult.

Cut them into quarters, insides faced down on a cutting board, then turn them over and brush or spoon reserved herb mixture on the insides of each one. Grill on a preheated grill set at Medium, placed with insides faced down, for 5 minutes with the lid on.

It’s been five years since I’ve been there and I can’t help but think what a five years it’s been. I try and tell the seniors to soak it all up- it’s a wild ride once you leave. A few months back, the local paper did an “interesting person” story on me because at random, I was sitting having lunch with my family when the restaurant owner mentioned to the reporter that the photographs on the wall happen to my my father’s and mine. That’s a tough question for me. Even now when people ask me what my plans are in California, I half shrug and simply say, ‘I’ll figure it out eventually.” What I really should say is, “I’m going after my happiness and following my heart.
17 Power Snacks For Studying Indian Finding substitutes for animal products is perhaps the trickiest part of vegan cooking, both for a new conscious eater, and for someone who’s been doing this a while. But it can also be a lot of fun to upend some long-held traditions on cooking and baking by using cruelty-free products and getting results that are just as good and usually healthier than their animal-infested versions.Here is a list of vegan substitutes that always work for me. I’ve tried to group them by the animal product they replace. I will add to this list as I experiment with new substitutes, but meanwhile rest assured that I’ve tried and tested them for years now in my vegan kitchen.
